7 weeks but the baby is 2mm

hi there,

went for a scan today and the baby was showing far to small 2mm if should have been at least 8mm.

The drs has advised me to wait until next week but they have warned me that the chances are very small. I am feeling really upset.

Has anyone had this kind of experience before?

Yes sadly...if the foetal pole is behind over a week in growth this early..it means there is a reason it's struggling to grow ...it's nothing you have done ...😢 I'd prepare yourself for the next steps...it's very difficult x

so sorry to hear this. I have been in this situation and it is really awful. I’m so sorry you have been advised to wait, i was told this too, in two pregnancies. The waiting is awful. Both times i had no signs of miscarriage, even in the wait. But sadly both times it was bad news. I’m really sorry as I don’t want to upset you but when I was in this situation I really didn’t understand what was going on and I had such false hope

Look after yourself. Be kind to yourself. Please message if you need to talk x

Hello, I have just had this myself as well and nothing had changed a week later. Although for me the embryo had implanted very low. I’m sorry you are having to go through this too, it’s honestly heartbreaking. Xx
